LSU @ Texas Game Thread

[guy4321]

In the same vein as @Chop, here's who we are playing. #1 is a good ranking, I must admit, but

here's something even better from LSU

Here's the preview Baseball preview: No. 1 LSU - University of Texas Athletics

Midweek Primer: No. 1 LSU visits Texas tonight

"UCLA transfer right-hander Thatcher Hurd is projected to take the bump for the Tigers, and Texas is expected to counter with 6-foot-4, 215-pound hard-throwing right-hander Lebarron Johnson Jr.

Hurd lasted only two innings and allowed four runs - all earned - on six hits, walked three and fanned three in his debut against Southern. Christian Little spelled him and picked up the win in an 18-4 victory over Southern."

Hurd was really good at UCLA, but he suffered from back problems. LSU took the chance on Hurd. Hurd had a rough start against Southern.

Thatcher Hurd

Set to take the mound against us tonight for LSU.
Below are his stats from when he was at:

1.06 ERA
48 strikeouts
10 walks
in 34.0 innings
Was the #1 RHP in California high schools

He had a back injury (Pars defect) that he’s now recovering from. A real stud before the injury.

Southern drilled him. And Southern is pretty so-so at best.

Belyeu starts at DH.

 

[aUTfan]

i saw that......would have liked to see Daly move up one but otherwise I like the lineup

 

[aUTfan]

good test for LBJ.

 

[WorsterMan]

T E X A S !!!
F I G H T !!!

 

[Chop]

3 up
3 down
For LBJ and the Texas D in the first.

 

[Chop]

This ump does not give strike calls high in the zone. He doesn’t like them coming in high.

 

[aUTfan]

LBJ looked great that inning.

 

[Chop]

Hurd walked Kennedy

 

[Chop]

Campbell flied out to LF.


then he walks Brown

2 on one out.

 

[Chop]

Now LSU meets on the mound to talk about how the gumbo in Austin is sub par.

 

[Chop]

Bad luck. Drilled a liner right to SS. Double play.

 

[Chop]

This ump’s strike zone is small in general. Especially up high.

 

[Chop]

LBJ hitting the high 90s

99 mph

 

[HalRex]

We need to hit it where they ain’t.

 

[Chop]

This is ridiculous. This ump’s strike zone is about the tightest I’ve seen.

Well, as long as he’s consistent with both teams.

 

[Chop]

2 strikeouts
2 walks
2 outs
2 on for LSU
2 inning

 

[Chop]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!! Hard hit base hit to CF.

Kennedy guns down the runner at the plate!!!

 

[Chop]

Kennedy


Guillemette

 

[Chop]

Andre Dawson looking throw from the outfield to home plate right there.
Kennedy gunned him down.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Ok boys im at the game and that was one hell of a throw by EK. LSU runner never made it to the plate.

 

[Chop]

Jack and Flores both strike out.

 

[Chop]

Ok. LSU can field. 2B for LSU makes a great grab and throw going to his right.

0-0 on to the third.

 

[Chop]

Kennedy should make the ESPN highlight reel for that throw.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Nothing more exciting in baseball than a play at the plate.

 

[Chop]

Fly out to LF
Strikeout
Single up the gut
Fly out to CF
No runs
For LBJ and the Texas D in the top of the 3rd

0-0
